Riedel

"The effect of these [Riedel] glasses on fine wine is profound. I cannot emphasize enough what a difference they make." Robert Parker

Prof. Claus J Riedel was the first designer to recognise the effect that different glass shapes had on a wine and realised that it was the shape of the bowl that determined where on your tongue the flavour would be delivered and how this would alter the taste and aroma perceived. It was Claus who, over 50 years ago, laid the groundwork for stemware which was functional as well as beautiful and would match and compliment what was inside.

Established in 1756, Riedel Crystal has been producing glass for 11 generations over 250 years and to this day remains a family owned and run business. They are recognised worldwide for designing and producing the highest quality glasses and decanters which enhance the aroma and flavour of wines and spirits.

Riedel wine glasses have been endorsed by both winemakers and experts around the world and they are widely regarded as some of the finest wine glasses available in the world today.
